Skin is only capable of holding so much moisture. As a hydrophilic, or water-attracting molecule, hyaluronic acid ensures that skin receives the perfect amount of hydration. When applied, this formula immediately sinks in, improving the appearance of fine lines and increasing suppleness.

Why is it different?

Smart Hydration:

Capable of holding up to 1000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid soaks in easily to instantaneously recharge moisture levels and restore skin’s suppleness. In addition, hyaluronic acid is a hydrophilic humectant that continuously draws water from the air, thereby steadily replenishing hydration over time.

Multi-Level Moisture

In addition to the superior hydrating benefits of hyaluronic acid and squalane, this formula includes two lightweight oils, jojoba seed oil and apricot kernel oil, that quickly absorb to soften and plump. These ingredients work synergistically to provide multiple layers of moisture that stay locked in for lasting hydration.

Key Benefits

How it works

Well-balanced formulations are essential for helping skin maintain optimum levels of hydration. The most effective moisturizers contain an emulsion of ingredients that work synergistically to build levels of moisture from the inside out. A humectant, like hyaluronic acid, is a water-based ingredient that draws moisture from its environment to the surface of the skin.

By nature, their job is to increase the water content of the skin. Emollients, such as squalane and jojoba seed oil, nourish and condition the skin, providing extra moisture as they soften, while occlusives are ingredients that form micro-seal on skin’s surface, ensuring that moisture stays locked in for lasting hydration. Some ingredients, such as apricot kernel oil, have both emollient and occlusive properties.

Key Ingredients

Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate):

Known for its ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant that draws moisture into the skin.

Squalane:

Derived from olives, squalane works to deeply moisturize. It is biologically close to skin’s own sebum, which makes it an excellent emollient.

Jojoba Seed Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil):

Derived from a perennial shrub native to the southwestern US and parts of Mexico, jojoba seed oil is rich in fatty acids, and acts as a lightweight emollient.

Apricot Kernel Oil (Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil):

Made from the seeds of apricots, apricot kernel oil is a light yet effective moisturizer, that works well with all skin types to deliver hydration.
